Please, note, that this challenge blog is not related to any business and run without any profit by people, who do this for your and their own leisure time fun! Our only reward are your encouraging comments and your playing along and sharing steampunk fun and mixed media techniques. We appreciate every single entry and comment so much! Thank you for taking the time!

If you are new to this place, please, know that we are so glad that you stopped by our little steampunk corner!Whether you are a dedicated tag or card maker, art journaler or mixed media lover - this might be the right place for you! For more information about the rules and the little "steampunk/industrial twist" we ask of you, please check the "about" stuff and then simply jump in and create!

If you are new to steampunk and not sure if this is "your thing", maybe take a look at our winners gallery on pinterest (use the linking button on our side bar). You will find that we're mainly a mixed media challenge blog with a little twist towards steampunk, industrial and/or vintage. So why not give it a try?

We are looking forward to seeing your fab projects entered to one of our challenges soon!

Hi, servus and welcome to the first of our new mid-month posts here at SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenges!

I have decided for now to combine the announcement of our Top5 and prize winners from the previous month with the second round up of inspirational makes for the actual challenge. I am currently thinking on making some changes to the way of doing our challenge and Top5 and prize winner posts, so it gets easier for me to run the blog (as I am not feeling my very best and haven't done so for quite some time now). I want to keep this challenge blog up and running (for our players and myself) - maybe it just needs some tweaking here and there to make it more joyful again and less of a challenge (hahah, pun intended). So, please, be patient, if you find I have been adding changes again!

So here we go!
Let's start with the additional dose of inspiration first and with reminding you of our challenge theme, which is once more

"Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial"

so you're all free to have fun and happily create away! Please, check our challenge rules ("Da Rules") for some recent updates, if you haven't already. (you'll find these on top of the blog page - right below the banner). Thank you! The linkup tool to enter your projects to can be found at the bottom of this post or with the challenge post from the 1st of the month.

As always our challenge will be open until the end of the month and there will be two lucky winners picked among all proper entries, who will either win the fab DecoArt media prize bundle

playing around with some Calico Craft Parts, left over die cuts, rubber stamping

and DecoArt media products.

(I am always amazed by how much media you can squeeze into such a small format ;)

Servus, hi and welcome back for another challenge with once more loads of steampunk and industrial style fun and beauty!

Team A will kick off our February challenge today with four inspiring makes to fuel your creativity and lure you into playing along, but there will be more inspiration on February, 15 as usual, when the ladies from Team B will be sharing their projects. We will also be announcing the Top 5 and prize winners from our January challenge then - which is born out of necessity (due to me being off on holidays before that date and maybe without internet over there), but I have just at this very moment decided to keep it that way from now on. This way the Team B ladies will be seen properly and you won't miss the announcement either. So the 1st and the 15th of each month will be your dates to keep in mind from now on ;)

The February challenge theme is once more

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

so you're free to create whatever you love most - as long as it is somehow steampunk or industrial style related. We love tags and cards as well as we love art journal pages, scrapbook layouts, altered objects, paintings, drawings, mixed media art and jewellery (and whatever else I haven't put on this list now because it didn't come to mind). So don't be shy and play along. By doing so you get the chance to either win this amazing DecoArt media prize bundle....

and I love the composition and the layers with the gauze and the book page to contrast

the rusty tag and elements!

Our challenge is open until the end of the month and can be entered via the inlinkz tool at the bottom of this post. I can't wait to see what you create! And don't forget to return on the 15th for more inspiration and the announcement of the January prize winners and Top5. See you then!
